Why project_update_setting is rated Medium
The 'update_setting' verb clearly indicates data modification rather than read-only access. Without further description, this appears to be a Write operation (reversible change to project state) rather than Destructive. Confidence is moderate due to lack of description details. Severity is medium because misuse could corrupt project configuration, but changes are typically reversible through further updates.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'project_update_setting' indicates modification of project configuration. Description is empty, limiting certainty.

The rule that runs project_update_setting safely

project_update_setting stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Mcp Anything, apply this rule, and every project_update_setting call is checked against it from then on.
